Senator Kabir Marafa of Zamfara State on Friday accused governor Abdulaziz Yari of Zamfara State of always flattering President Muhammadu Buhari with praises anytime he visted Abuja while the governor is known for abusing Buhari all the time in Zamfara.
According to him, Yari is a two faced governor who praises President Muhammadu Buhari in Abuja and abuses him in Zamfara State.
He spoke with State House correspondents at the Presidential Villa, Abuja.
Asked his reaction to Yari’s threat that he was going to resign as the chief security officer of his state due to increased insecurity, Marafa said:
“I heap a lot of blame on you the media the way and manner you handled it and number one culprit is the state house of Assembly.
“If I was a member of the State House of Assembly I would have initiated impeachment of the governor because he lacks conscience, then the media ought to have done much more than what they did.
“This is part of the problem we have as a people, when problems happen in other states they tend to be overblown but when they happen in another state nobody cares and Nigeria is supposed to be seen as one country.
“For a chief executive to come out publicly to say that he has resigned as the chief security officer of a state he or she is supposed to accompany that statement with a resignation,” he said.
“I don’t have to call on him to resign, this is something that every Nigerian is supposed to say and he himself if he has conscience and he knows what leadership is all about and he is quite knowledgeable in Islamic and if he took the teachings of Islam very seriously he would have resigned in the real essence of the word rather than making mere pronouncements that he has resigned as chief security officer.
“You only take the sunny side of government but the ugly side you say you are not responsible. When it comes to the money of Zamfara state he is the governor of Zamfara state, when it comes to the protection of lives of the people of the state then it is President Muhammadu Buhari that is responsible and the worst thing that I always say is that this is the first person that has unfettered access to the President.
“Now have you been telling the president the truth, this is where the challenge lies, when he comes here he tells you that the president is doing very well, when he goes back to the state he says security is not his responsibility but that of the President and he didn’t do it,” he stated.
